Fortinet FortiGate 1000F Next Calendar Day Priority RMA, 3-Year (FC-10-F1K0F-210-02-36)

A FortiGate 1000F running FortiCare Premium or FortiCare Elite already carries next-business-day advanced replacement, but for a firewall protecting internet edge traffic across multiple sites, next business day can mean a weekend-long gap. SKU FC-10-F1K0F-210-02-36 closes that gap: it upgrades the RMA response on a FortiGate 1000F to Next Calendar Day courier delivery, including weekends and holidays, for a 3-year term.

What this SKU covers

FC-10-F1K0F-210-02-36 is the 3-year Priority RMA add-on, service code 210, for the FortiGate 1000F. Once active, if a covered FortiGate 1000F fails and the exchange is confirmed with Fortinet, a replacement unit ships by courier and is scheduled to arrive the next calendar day per the applicable country cutoff time, seven days a week. This is an upgrade on top of the standard next-business-day advanced replacement that already comes with FortiCare Premium or FortiCare Elite; it does not replace that underlying support contract, it accelerates the shipping commitment.

Who needs Priority RMA on a 1000F

This add-on suits organizations running the FortiGate 1000F as a primary internet-edge or data center firewall where a Saturday or Sunday hardware failure cannot wait until Monday for replacement logistics to start. It is common for HA pairs where restoring full redundancy quickly matters, and for environments with contractual uptime commitments to internal business units or external customers. A branch or lab deployment that can tolerate a short outage over a weekend typically does not need this tier and can rely on the standard next-business-day RMA included with FortiCare Premium.

FC-10-F1K0F-210-02-36 is the Priority RMA layer that sits on top of whichever FortiCare tier is already active on the device. Fortinet requires FortiCare Premium or FortiCare Elite as a prerequisite; FortiCare Essential devices are not eligible for the Priority RMA add-on.

Activation, delivery, and term

This is a license SKU, not a physical part: DataCenter360.ca delivers the registration code electronically, typically within one business day of order confirmation, and the entitlement is applied against the FortiGate 1000F’s serial number in the Fortinet support portal. There is no hardware to ship and no regional restriction on activation; the Next Calendar Day RMA service itself follows Fortinet’s published country-level courier availability, so confirm coverage for the ship-to location with your Fortinet account manager or partner before an incident occurs. The 3-year term runs from activation and should be renewed before expiry to avoid a lapse back to standard next-business-day RMA.

This add-on vs. the underlying FortiCare contract

Priority RMA does not stand alone. If the FortiGate 1000F is not already covered by FortiCare Premium (FC-10-F1K0F-247-02-36) or FortiCare Elite, add one of those first, since the 210 service code assumes an active Premium or Elite contract on the same device. Organizations that have not yet decided on a support tier should compare Essential, Premium, and Elite above before layering on Priority RMA.
